Wellness Policy

Our District has developed a Wellness Policy that is focused on improving the health of students. The policy was developed by the health and wellness advisory council that includes teachers, parents, administrators and the district nurse.

One of our goals is to share the message of nutrition and wellness via our department's website, which emphasizes the importance of nutrition AND fitness. Our site provides information on nutrition and fitness for teachers, parents, and students, as well as a variety of learning tools. In addition, if you are a student, parent, staff or faculty member, or partnering community organization and are interested in serving as a representative on the School Wellness Advisory Council, please contact the Nutrition Services office at 707-464-0246.
